I expect precisely as much outrage from the ruling class as it showed when Ukraine shelled Donetsk with cluster munitions.
All of modern politics in the West is just the Friend-Enemy Distinction, nothing more.
Even Russians (namely the DNR supreme comrade on Rassiya 1) quickly admitted it was debris from a shot down missile.

It's like when the Ukrainians hit a plane which exploded over Kiev on first night and caused a lot of damage just by that. https://youtube.com/watch?v=WGnwaK0z_e8
Similar situations occured in countless other places. In WWII many people were even killed on the ground by friendly anti-air fire. "Battle of Los Angeles" resulted in damage and casualties as they were shooting AAA at phantoms.
Here's the problem with this. Ukraine denies even firing the missile.
If there was a military target beyond Donetsk (which, why would there be, that isn't anywhere near the actual fighting) that the missile was going to strike, and Russia agreed they shot down the Tochka-U, then both parties would essentially come to reconciliation on the topic that it was just a shitty situation.
Even if the argument is made that Ukraine could just have every reason to lie about it, that they are lying suggests that the target actually was somewhere in Donetsk. Given the proximity of the missile debris to the blast zone, it wasn't traveling much farther than from where it was hit.
There are a plenty of military targets inside Donetsk.
What do you mean "actual fighting"? Are Russians not striking all over the country, since hour 1 and every day and night with planes and missiles? What the fuck is this thinking? Russian targets inside Russia were also attacked, as they should be. Fucking Moscow is full of targets, if only it could be only reached (Americans destroyed all of Ukrainian strategic forces decades ago - hundreds of strategic missiles and cruise missiles for heavy bombers along with the bombers themselves, not just the nuclear warheads). Vladivostok is full of targets.
You don't use AP cluster munitions on targets in a city.
